@ariel-ashira  I’m glad you like them! I just use LibreOffice. *shrug..*

@rochellaine  Hey, hey, heyyyy! (And yes, I did notice. *smirks*)

Yes, I… have to admit I almost did desert it. But I’m nostalgic, and loyal to KP, and NOTHING CAN TEAR ME AWAY.

Yes, I just read the conversation, and Kaya’s story (but not Jen’s… thing. I couldn’t log in to see it, so I have no idea what it is. 🙁 ). It almost made me cry.…[Read more]

Warning: This is a deep post.

Hi, guys! I have a couple kind of major prayer requests.

I am in a similar situation as @salome01w4g (Hannah), where I’m not sure I’m cut out to be an all-out writer. And seeing how devoted people are here, and at Story Embers, to writing novels, I have been considering stepping back a little bit.

Over my hiatus, I…[Read more]

@dekreel Oh yes, I just realized you probably don’t understand what I’m talking about.  Well, the few of us left here in the Kingdom, mainly @jenwriter17 @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @skredder and @kaya-young (I think I’ve forgotten someone, but can’t remember who,) have been preparing to declare war on Story Embers for the past few days.

If…[Read more]

@dekreel You’re back!!!!! My wolfish friend, welcome.  (Notice, I did not say wolf, but wolfish! 😛 )

I heard you were on SE and was about to accuse you of deserting the kingdom with the rest of those traitors, so you have arrived just in time!

*cheers* *throws confetti* Hooray!!  I’m glad you’re back.  definitely missed you.  Unfortunately, I’m…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  First of all, I’m praying. I know that feeling all too well.

Secondly, listen to this song. It should help. 😉

@seekjustice Is that Australian slang, or have I just never heard the expression before? 😛  I’m going to assume you think it’s a cool idea. 😉  Well, try it out sometime, and tell me if you like it!

I’m going to go now, because I still have one hand on the bunny to keep it warm and calm and it’s really hard to type with just one hand. 😉  I ho…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, the dishes song is “Look For the Silver Lining” from the musical Sally.

And of course I also sing whatever song is stuck in my head! 😀  I do both.  Today I was singing “Tell Him Anything” which of course is not at all relevant to anything that was going on! 😛

You should play the game I play with my baby sister, though.  Sh…[Read more]

@seekjustice @ariel-ashira I’m back.  I want the bunny to go to sleep so I can write, but it’s jumping around like crazy and keeps asking for milk.  One of my sisters, the one I usually talk about, went to get the bottle, and hopefully after it drinks it’ll calm down. 🙂

But I am back, tentatively. 😛

Okay, SeekJustice, so…I always (or a…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, your loss, I guess. 😛  Or your gain…depends on how you look at it.

Okay, so I don’t really like those kinds of musicals.  I have a couple of reasons.  One is something I’ve mentioned before.  I like songs that I can sing simply and around places without worrying they’ll sound weird out of context.  The old movie musi…[Read more]

@seekjustice Ah, okay.  It’s a culture thing?  In that case I can see why you don’t think it’s cute. 😉

Do you mean musicals like Les Mis which are basically all song and no spoken dialogue?

@jenwriter17 Well, I guess I’ll see you later.  Glad you, at least, think it’s really cute. 😛

@seekjustice Just “kinda cute?”  What do you have in Australia that’s cuter than this? 😉 (I actually will agree that this isn’t really the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.  I like my sister’s Shih Tzu puppies better.)

How goes the editing?  Have Sap…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice

Isn’t he cute? 😀 (I actually think he looks rather like a mouse, but then…mice can be cute, too. 😉 )

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice I’m back!  I think the bunny is going to survive.  I was able to get some milk down him and warm him up, and now his ears are up and he has eaten a bit of clover. 🙂  My little sister is very happy. 😀

How’s it going?

@jenwriter17 I would be, except I’m taking care of a wild baby bunny who might be dying, upon the request of my little sister. 🙂  I’m holding it in one hand as I type.

So, I can’t work on my book with only one hand available to type, but I’m willing to chat if you like. 😉

Oh, and now I’m reading a book to one of my other little sisters.…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, I know Chessy is based on you, and I know that people do actually like wearing cargo pants.  I just mean that it’s hard for me personally to understand since my own style is so different. 😛  One of my favorite parts was actually when Neva gave Chessy that skirt and Zac and Justice liked it. 😉 But cargo pants are part of C…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Hi!  How’s it going?

(And don’t worry about talking with me, either.  I don’t watch Marvel. 😛 )

@seekjustice Haha.  Nope, Zac is my one and only top favorite character out of both of your books. 😀  But I have a few others I like a lot.  Lets see…

Jean. I feel like I could like Jean a lot, but don’t know him very well.  He seems to play a very significant role in the lives of Chessy, Justice, Quillon, and Kai, as well as Dr. Manly, and…[Read more]

@seekjustice And…wait a minute!  You were laughing at us?!  Why?  Why would you laugh at us, your loyal fans, who deeply admire you?  When we say we love your characters, it’s only a compliment to you, isn’t it?  Then why would you laugh at us? *pouts* *giggles*
